Classroom Bank

Students will be able to earn credits and debits

throughout the school day. Each student has a job that will earn them automatic

money. Students then have the opportunity to receive

credits and gain more money in their bank

account. They also may receive debits, or lose

money, when making poor choices. Students receive 2 warnings before they will

earn a debit ($1, $5 or $10 debit). At the end of a 2

week pay period, they take their money to the

classroom bank and will be able to deposit their money

or withdraw money for school coupons at the

classroom store.

We are starting a new positive behavior

incentive system at SWE. Students are able

to earn starbucks for showing their “Be’s”.

Students will be learning the three be’s—Be Responsible, Be

Respectful and Be Safe. There will be a student of the week for each class and a pep-rally

honoring star students. Every month, the grade

will make a menu of activities that students can purchase with their

starbucks. More information will come as the year goes on!
